Casselberry Considers Buying State Auto Inspection Station

October 27, 1985

CASSELBERRY — City councilmen Monday will discuss the possible purchase of the Motor Vehicle Inspection station across the street from city hall.

Since the state halted vehicle inspections in 1981, the city has been renting the building from Seminole County to store utility equipment. This year, the county declared the station as surplus property and has accepted bids for its purchase.

The building was appraised at $167,000. A $145,000 bid was made by John N. Casselberry, who owns surrounding property. The county has given the city first right of refusal following the receipt of the bids.

Also Monday, the council will continue its review of the civil service ordinance.
